Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Steps in Discernment

STEP 1:
"Know that the Lord has created you for a specific mission"


STEP 2:
"Accept His love and choice for you"


STEP 3:
"Make yourself available to listen to Him"


STEP 4:
"Cooperate with Him in clearing away obstacles"


STEP 5:
"Give yourself entirely to Him in love...be holy!"


STEP 6:
"Distinguish the 'four voices' of discernment
(the voice of the world, the voice of the devil, the voice of your 'self',
and the voice of the Lord)"
